holy hell this is a pain in the ***! I've been trying to RNG my ID/SID fro ~4 hours now and im not any closer now then i was before :/ I have no clue what im doing, the guide im using is referencing RNG reporter 7.4, pandora's box keeps giving me both odd and even delays (without my emerald inserted and even with my emerald inserted), sometimes it gives me more than one result and i have to guess which delay i hit, i cant even hit the same delay twice, and this is taking for ever. this is a horrible start and thus far i hate gen 4 RNGing. i hope it gets easier but right now this feels impossible :/

Don't give up, and don't worry, RNGing my IDs was hard for me too. But if you hit a delay within 10-12 of your target, try to avoid adjusting EonTimer. I tried using my FireRed to force one type of delay when I did it but I didn't notice any differences until I actually started trying captures, but even then it wasn't very helpful. Just keep trying and you'll get it eventually. Delays are kind of hard to hit consistently when you first start, but later on it gets easy once you figure out the best calibrated delay for your target.

1. Does talking to Cresselia advance the RNG by 5?
2. How do you get Dialga/Palkia to appear at Spear Pillar? I've caught Heatran and went to the shrine in Celestic Town and went through the cutscene with Cynthia. IDK what to do, I have a Timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 spread ready. I have also picked up the orbs.

Since your target frame is 14, then, yes, you'll only need to advance the frame by 9. Remember that Cresselia is a Method 1 legendary.

If you've got the orbs and talked to Cynthia's grandmother, then you should be able to get them to appear at the Spear Pillar.

Try using a different seed, then. Are you sure you're selecting Method 1 in both the Time Finder and the main window?

And I meant how do I hatch flawless shinies?

Firstly, you need to RNG the egg's PID (described in detail here). Once an egg has been generated, save in front of the daycare man. Hatch the egg to be sure it's what you want (shininess, gender, ability and nature), then turn off your game. Now you can begin to IV abuse.

This took about five minutes. Gen V abuse is hilarious. At least there won't be as many of these posted here, unlike the Reshiram and Zekrom events. That reminds me, I haven't bothered to RNG Reshiram yet. D:

Quick question before I RNG mine, I'm sure someone said with Shiny Wondercards on Jap version that the IV / Nature combo you generate won't be correct as the Nature will be the one 2 frames later? (I'm running RNGReporter 9.81 by the way - it works for me and I can't be bothered to upgrade til I've done all I need to at present)
Can someone confirm? I'll try in a bit anyway but just to save me hassle as I'll have to look for a IV set with Jolly/Adamant 2 natures later otherwise!! lol

I just RNGed it as I would a normal Wonder Card. I didn't have to consider any of this.

to find my starting PIDRNG, I start the game on the correct time, hatch the egg and figure out its IVs, but where do i look in RNG Reporter to find where to search frames close to my calculated starting frame?

White Friend Code: 1162 9592 9037

This is Turtwig, he was the most under appreciated starter in Diamond & Pearl. If you picked Turtwig as your starter, put this in your sig. Started by Dax-360

Also, quick question: Do my IV delay and my PID delay have to be the same? Or will the PID one not matter, as long as I can find a seed on the delay I hit, checking it with a wild pokemon?

They don't have to be the same (in HG/SS at least, not sure about D/P/P but I don't think they need to be the same there either).

Main Window, select Breeding (BW), paste your seed, press calculate initial PIDRNG Frame and then generate. The PID you hit should be about 3-8 above your starting frame, although it might vary.

Yep, Seeds can be used an infinite number of times.

I finally got around to try HG/SS breeding. These are my two first results:

As I said earlier, the Charmander was for a friend, but the Scyther is for my own personal use.
Have a couple of things I might try next, but I am also looking for suggestions on what to breed on 4th gen. Anything that has useful moves that are exclusive to 4th gen might do. I know Agonist posted a short list earlier, but I am looking for more suggestions.

Okay I've done that, but how do i figure out which frame I'm actually starting on?

Hatch your egg and check its Nature/Ability/IVs and compare it to what you got in the main window. If you don't get any results within the first 10 frames after your initial PID frame, it was most likely your Timer0 trolling you, so just try again.
